Victorian Sleighbell Parade & Old
Christmas Weekend

December 3-6, 2009
Manistee, Michigan

My all time favorite event in Manistee is the Victorian Sleighbell Parade. In all my years, I have only missed one of the parades. In 2008 I went to New York City with my girlfriends and I often tell people that the tree in Rockefeller Center does not compare to the gigantic tree pulled by horses down River Street in Manistee, Michigan during the Victorian Parade. I'm dead serious!

This year's parade will be Saturday, December 5, 2009 at 5:30 pm. If you are reading this - YOU MUST ATTEND! Why? You won't find a more unique Christmas parade where...

Everyone wears Victorian period clothing. And I do mean everyone - practically every person from Manistee is in the parade!
All entries in are decorated with live greenery, cloth ribbons, etc. No plastic allowed. I love it!
There are lots of horses, as no motorized vehicles area allowed, with the exception of automobiles built prior to 1901.
All music must be live and from the Victorian period.
All lighting in the parade is in the form of candles, lanterns, oil lamps, etc.
Nothing is distributed in the parade - that's right, NO CANDY. I love it and my kids don't even miss it!

Remember, the Manistee Victorian Sleighbell parade starts at 5:30 pm on December 5th downtown on River Street in Manistee, MI. Hope to see you there - I'll be riding in the Coldwell Banker carriage.

Freddie Mac suspends foreclosures & offers to rent homes back to owners

Meagan Kempf (Coldwell Banker A.L.M.) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 11:57:22 -0500

Daily Real Estate News March 6, 2009

Freddie Mac Launches Rental Initiative Freddie Mac is launching a rental initiative, which will give former owners and tenants of foreclosed property the opportunity to lease their recently foreclosed properties month to month.

The REO rental initiative will be managed by HomeSteps, Freddie Mac's national real estate unit, and implemented through several national property management firms. Freddie Mac has about 8,500 properties in various stages of foreclosure.

Freddie Mac also will continue to suspend evictions through March 31 to ensure that former owners and occupants have an opportunity to explore new options available to them.

To qualify for a lease, the tenant or former owner must occupy the property and show they have adequate income to pay the monthly rental amount established by the property management company based on market rents for the area. Occupants must agree to allow HomeSteps to show the home to potential buyers during the lease period.

A wonderful dinner in Onekama for Valentines Day!

Meagan Kempf (Coldwell Banker A.L.M.) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 21:49:18 -0600

It's rare that my husband and I get an opportunity to go out to dinner in the Manistee area without our kids, but this past Valentine's Day we booked a babysitter, paired up with another couple and headed out for a grown-up meal.

When dining out during the off season, when just a few local restaurants are open, the question we ask ourselves is: "Where should we go out to eat in Manistee County?"

This year for our romantic dinner, we headed to Shay's Chophouse in Onekama for a delightful meal at a fantastic price.

Overlooking Portage Lake in Onekama, Shay's features premium steaks and chops, nightly specials and a full bar with an extensive wine list. The owner, Rick Shay, is a former personal chef and an awesome cook.

The food was absolutely superb -- it was so good, I couldn't help sneaking a few bites from every plate.

Here's what we had: Beef Tenderloin Kabobs ($13.95) Presented with black bean & garlic sauce. So tender & delish!

Chicken Tetrazzini ($12.95) Free-range chicken breast sautéed with mushrooms and garlic in white wine cream, tossed with linguine, topped with parmesan and baked until golden brown. Need I say more?
As for my dinner, I saw an incredible-looking plate of food being delivered to nearby table and pointed it out to my server. He informed me that it was their parmesan whitefish entree, and with only three orders left, it was going fast.

Even though I hadn't yet ordered my drink, I asked him to hold one for me. For just $16.95, he brought out the fresh Lake Superior whitefish topped with Shay's own parmesan crust and baked to perfection.
In addition to offering a superior dining experience, Shay's is also a great place to find evening entertainment such as live music and comedy shows.

Check out Shay's Chophouse's website for a schedule of special events!
